Philippians 3

1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.

3 For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Rukha, and rejoice in Meshikha Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh;

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:

though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;

circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israyel, of the tribe of Benyamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.

concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Meshikha.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ,

More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Meshikha Yeshua, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Meshikha

9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Meshikha, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;

11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.

if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I press on, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Meshikha Yeshua.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,

Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Meshikha Yeshua.

15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

16 Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk even as ye have us for an example.

Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

18 ( For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Meshikha,

19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

20 For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Yeshua Meshikha;

21 Who shall change our lowly body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.

who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
